Get Weird with Marc Rebillet: Live in Concert at Royale
As soon as I heard months ago that Marc Rebillet was coming to Massachusetts I knew I had to cover this show. I tell as many people as I can about this man. Everyone needs to check him out. Music has never made me laugh so much. I had to be able to see it in person to see if it carries over from tik toes and reels. I was also sad to learn many people that I bring Marc up to haven’t heard of them. So if you haven’t take a seat.
Rebillet’s roots start in Dallas, Texas, and his classical piano training might seem an unlikely foundation for someone who now dons bathrobes or just underwear and turns absurdity into art. Yet, his early exposure to music gave him the technical skill to execute his ideas effortlessly. When he started uploading videos in 2016, his raw energy and unabashed weirdness stood out in a crowded internet landscape.
It wasn’t long before his quirky, DIY setup became his trademark. His videos—filmed in cramped apartments, often in little more than underwear—exuded relatability. Viewers weren’t just watching a polished act; they were witnessing the magic of a gifted improviser making it up as he went along.
Rebillet has carved a singular path in the modern music world, blending humor, spontaneity, and undeniable musical talent into a phenomenon that’s as much comedy as it is art. His journey from uploading quirky YouTube videos to selling out global tours is not just a success story—it’s a testament to the creative possibilities of the digital age.
When you think of Rebillet, words like “improvisational genius” and “chaotic charisma” come to mind. His music—crafted live on the spot with nothing more than a loop station, keyboard, microphone, and his eccentric mind—is refreshingly unpredictable. Watching him perform is like being invited into the unfiltered workings of his brain. One moment, you’re grooving to a sultry R&B jam; the next, you’re laughing at a track about grocery store avocados or existential dread.
Tuesday night I found myself in Boston at Royale on a brutally cold night. I mean who parties on a Tuesday? Rebillet fans do. Two sold out shows in a row. Like I mentioned, I didn’t know what to expect seeing his show in person. I was blown away. The stage itself was filled with inflatable colored props. It looked like I was going to be at a pool party or a children’s indoor jumping park. I knew I was in for a treat along with the rest of the sold out crowd.
Rebillet cam flying out from backstage in literally a pair of underwear. I was in the media pit taking photos for this review and I immediately started laughing as I was working. It was the first time I laughed my ass off in the pit. It was awesome and completely different from what I was used to. I will also add that this was the first time my camera has been humped. Loop Daddy turned Royale into a high-energy playground of beats, laughter, and raw emotion. Rebillet delivered a performance that felt less like a concert and more like an exhilarating shared experience. His off the top songs featured a song about Boston being the best state only to correct himself in the song that “Boston isn’t a state, but tonight it is” before slamming down on the beat and blowing the roof off the building. I felt myself wanting to dance but at the same time laughing so hard. It’s a visual and audio extravaganza. It really messes with your emotions. From the very first loop he built—a pulsing, funk-infused groove—it was clear we were in for a night of pure, unfiltered creativity.
Rebillet's set had no script, no predetermined setlist. Instead, he fed off the audience, pulling shouted suggestions from the crowd and weaving them into hilariously inventive tracks. One woman through a tiara that read ‘Birthday Girl” and turned it into a song about him stealing her birthday and that it was his birthday, bitch. Pure genius. I made it a point to take a couple crowd shots and in the photos you can see the smiles on faces. I have never taken a crowd shot with everyone smiling. They weren’t looking at me and faking smiles. They were in the moment locked in to the show. It was one of the greatest moments at any show I have been to this year out of the 71 concerts I have covered.
But it wasn’t all comedy. In between the playful chaos, Rebillet showcased his versatility with moments of heartfelt sincerity. A spontaneous track about self-worth and overcoming doubt left the crowd swaying and cheering in solidarity. These emotional dips gave the show depth, reminding everyone that beneath the humor lies a musician capable of evoking genuine feeling. I found myself really appreciating the musical side of the show and the technicality of the composites he was creating. Rebillet's charisma is magnetic, and his energy is contagious. He doesn’t just perform—he invites the audience into his creative process, making every show a one-of-a-kind experience. The crowd at Royale didn’t just witness music being made; they were an active part of its creation. Rebillet created special moments from fans as he headed into the crowd and had them help with creating a song. It was personal to these people and we all lived vicariously through them. a perfect blend of comedy, music, and communal energy. It’s not often you leave a concert feeling like you’ve been part of something truly unique, but that’s exactly what Rebillet delivers. If “Loop Daddy” comes to your city, don’t miss the chance to witness his magic live. BUY. THE. TICKET.
